🦔Hedgehog🦔

So today down in EYFS the children found a baby hedgehog in front of the shed. Ms Haddock and Mrs Gilliland put him in a box with some blankets to keep him nice and warm. Then Mrs Gilliland kindly took him to hedgehog hospital where they weighed him(60g) He has to weigh 720g before they will let him go back into the wild. So cute🦔😍

Final word presentations in MI

Today we worked in small groups to present our final word presentations to an audience. Our presentations to our parents are getting closer so we are refining our speaking and listening skills ready for the big day 🙂 It was lovely for children to share their journeys with other crew members then give critique for improvement.

RE in Crew MI

Today we started a unit of work on Christianity. We looked at a variety of pictures from a family home, thinking about what we could see and then thinking about what type of home the pictures have come from. We then discussed the pictures in more detail thinking about how some of the pictures related to Christianity. We then became detectives where we tried to make links between the items and thought about the importances of each item. From here we ordered our items from the most important to the least important which raised some great discussions! We really challenged each others thinking.

We then moved on to looking at a weekly calendar thinking about our families and what would go on our own weekly calendar. We then watched a clip on a boy called Nathan. We thought about all the things he does in his week and added this to a calendar. We annotated the calendar to say why he is choosing to do certain things.

In our debrief we thought about challenges Christian’s face and what a Sunday morning may look like for a Christian compared to our Sunday morning. We also thought about all the good things about being a Christian. What a fantastic lesson this was! Such great collaboration and discussions taking place 🙂
